AI – Ally or Foe: James Barrat

LISTEN

Artificial Intelligence is all around us today. From Siri to interactive screens to drones and beyond, we rely on the speed and reliability of computers to create ease and aid decision making in daily life. AI has the ability to aid us in ways we have barely tapped into, democratizing information and opportunity in every sector of the economy. But some see a darker side to AI and what our drive to create machines with human intelligence means for humanity. Today, Brett hosts Chris Withers, lead of the IBM Watson financial services team, who sees great possibilities in AI lifting humanity, and author James Barrat, who wrote “Our Last Invention”, which is a warning about the possibly darker side of AI.
